Chapter 17
At first, I was so surprised, I didn't know what to do. Then slowly, I relaxed. I felt all warm inside, and felt like my brain was exploding. It was short, but really, really sweet. And when it ended, all I could do was think about it.
Mike was blushing so hard, his ears turned red.
"Well, G'night."
"'Night."
When I got to my room, I flopped onto my bed, just lying there. It was only six-thirty, so if I fell asleep now, my mom would wonder what was wrong. I'd missed dinner, but we'd gone out for pizza, so I wasn't hungry. I didn't really know what to do. But then, someone knocked on my door. I really couldn't say I was busy, so I yelled, "Come in."
The divas walked in and I inwardly groaned.
"So Anna. Have you heard? Are little sis has had her first kiss."
"Oh, that's too sweet. Remember our first kiss?"
"Yeah, Ricky and Matt."
"Twins visiting from Hawaii, right?"
"Yup. So, what did you think?"
I lifted my head. "I am NOT telling you my views on our kiss. And how did you know we kissed anyway?"
Ann shook her head, as if she thought I was a doofus or something.
"Hello? It's called window in our bedroom that looks out over the front."
Oh yeah. I'd forgot.
"Well, you shouldn't of been spying anyway. That was private. And why are you two even in here?"
Ann and Anna's identical grins slipped off their faces. Anna walked over to the left side of my bed, Ann on my right.
I sat up and leaned against the wall. I'd always heard it was good to keep your back against a wall. I hoped it would help with Ann and Anna.
Anna spoke first, "Lise, you were are first pick for reign you know."
What?
"But you didn't seem to want it and the way you acted and dressed. We hoped you'd grow out of it, but..."
Ann broke in. "So when little Amber came in, we figured she'd be best."
"And you didn't even care. So cutting our losses seemed fine with you."
"But these past couple of weeks, you've changed-"
"You got Mike and you began caring-"
"Amber does not deserve to be that popular. To reign-"
"To be the person who can intimidate, help, do almost anything-"
"If she got it, it'd be disgrace."
"So you're going to be it. You'll need to walk around with us for a while, sit at our table-"
"Jamie and Melody too."
"Of course. They're your best friends. They need to rise with you."
"So on Monday, you'll sit with us, invite Mike if you want, and next year, you'll be the popular one. And a bit of advice, make sure you give it to someone worthy."
And with having done their bit, without asking me if I wanted this, they walked out of the room.
